Marshall: IFRS 9 will affect companies beyond banks and financial institutions

The imminent effective date for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is only two months away but there are concerns that some listed companies and group subsidiaries are not aware of the impact of the new standard on classification, impairment and hedging, warns Andrew Marshall FCA, senior technical partner at KPMG UK

We are finally seeing an increasing focus by companies on preparing for IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the new revenue standard which comes into force from next year, and also some focus on the new leasing standard, IFRS 16 Leases, which arrives a year later.

This is not the only new standard which companies should be well advanced in their preparations for, as 2018 also heralds the arrival of the new financial instruments standard, IFRS 9.
